Mrs. L. Lippert was considerably
bruised one evening last week by

was unable to manage her horse when
she met teams going down. Hence Ehe
accident.
In communication to the Pioneer OF
Sunday, A. j. Blakely, government tim
Der agent, cites authorities showing that
the railroad company has laid itself
liable to trespass for transporting ties

assertion the company will take care Of
itself.
The best lunches found in Sturgis are

The Commercial will be thrown open
to the public on Sunday next. 1t is safe
to say it will be first class throughout,
as Mr.. Farley knows how to conduct "a
hotel. Mrs Farley will give her personal
attention and entire time to looking after
the welfare OF guests, which will add
another pleasant feature to the popular
ity of the house.
We understand that Abe Hill has
closed up. His cause for doingso is no
doubt due to lack Of patronage, as Col.
Tilford placed a guard around Hills
premises to prevent soldiers from visit
ing the place. If Hill should conclude
to engage in business again in Sturgis
it is sincerely hoped he will occupy
more secluded quarters or conduct it on
different principles.
